sharing a folder with my friend

The sharing folder option under win98 is only for Lan. As for your case, you can use some other application such like LapLink in order to sharing folder to your friend(you no need login to the internet), but the connection speed will be very slow due to for modem speed.

of course you can share our floder on internet too. You can try Driveway.com

hope this information could help you. :)

What I might consider if I were you would be to connect up with something like XDrive. It's a virtual drive that you can both connect to on the web. the'll give you so much space for free, anything more they charge. I don't know what the limit isbut you may want to check it out. There are several companies that provide this kind of service. What you can do is open up your browser and do a search on "Internet & Drive" this should give you a pretty good listing. What you do once you've signed up is that you map a "virtual" drive on both of your computers. Then anytime that either of you are connected to the internet you can both access the file. This can also be a problem if you are using a large file, as your connection speeds willmean that you may have to wait a few minutes to download and upload the file all the time. If you are both using high speed connections this might not be a big deal. Also you may run into issues where both of you are trying to upload the file at the same time. These are just a couple of things to keep in mind.

Good luck with whatever you do,

have you tried using pc anywhere? it's pretty
easy to use. You and your friend will have access to each other's pc via dialing into each other's pc using a modem. the software is self explanatory too.

I ones saw in an ODD-JOB store a device that you can connect from modem to fax to turn the fax into a printer/scanner, you can use the same device to connect from modem to modem.
I assume you can get it at any computer store.

You have to set up one computer as a dialup server and one computer as dialup client . to setup a dialup client use the "Make new connection" wizard in dialup networking . To set up the dialup server Go to Dialup Networking in My Computer and on theConnections menu select Dialup server , choose "allow caller Access" then on the server type tab select PPP server OK/APPLY all then use the connection on the the client to dial the number of the dialup server ..........Bingo you have done it ...Also if you want to share your folder on the internet you need to setup a VPN connection between your computers . If you have Win2000 you can use the VPN wizard to setup the VPN .

Good Luck !!!!

If you have 98 ,NT just log on to www.danware.com and get a free (trial)copy of Danware Install Danware software in both the machine You can not only access each other folder but can control each other desktop can chat through dial up lines
Further if you want to share folder over internet (it is costly affair) which is not recommended
